Sundance doc'Ghost in the Machine' draws a damning line between AI and eugenics The Sundance documentary boldly declares that the pursuit of artificial intelligence, and Silicon Valley itself, is rooted in eugenics. Director Valerie Veatch makes the case that the rise of techno-fascism from the likes of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel is a feature, not a bug. That may sound hyperbolic, but, which is built around interviews with philosophers, AI researchers, historians and computer scientists, leaves little room for doubt. If you've been following the meteoric rise of AI, or Silicon Valley in general, Veatch's methodical deconstruction of the technology doesn't really unearth anything new. The film begins with the utter failure of Microsoft's Tay chatbot, which wasted no time in becoming a Hitler-loving white supremacist .

After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it. Renee Nicole Good was a poet, a mother of three, a wife. Within hours of her death, as far as the government was concerned, she was a domestic terrorist . She appeared to have four gunshot wounds, according to The New York Times, which cited a Minneapolis Fire Department report.

In a world where ICE agents are shooting US citizens on the street, the need for militias and extremist groups like the Proud Boys to support far-right interests has evaporated. Whether it was protesting Covid lockdowns, attending school board meetings, or facing off against Black Lives Matter protesters, the far-right Proud Boys were always on hand to support Donald Trump's first term in office. When Trump left office in 2021, the group's leaders languished in jail for their role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. With reported infighting destabilizing the movement, it looked like the group's glory days were behind it. But Trump's return a year ago, and his release of all January 6 prisoners, signaled that a Proud Boy comeback could be in the cards.

Trump Warned of a Tren de Aragua'Invasion.' Hundreds of records obtained by WIRED show thin intelligence on the Venezuelan gang in the United States, describing fragmented, low-level crime rather than a coordinated terrorist threat. Alleged members of Tren de Aragua sit handcuffed during a preliminary hearing on July 9, 2025, in Santiago, Chile, where they faced homicide charges. As the Trump administration publicly cast Venezuela's Tren de Aragua (TdA) as a unified terrorist force tied to President Nicolás Maduro and operating inside the United States, hundreds of internal US government records obtained by WIRED tell a far less certain story. Intelligence taskings, law-enforcement bulletins, and drug-task-force assessments show that agencies spent much of 2025 struggling to determine whether TdA even functioned as an organized entity in the US at all--let alone as a coordinated national security threat.

'Extremist movements are using voice-generating bots to recreate the voices and speeches of major figures in their milieu.' 'Extremist movements are using voice-generating bots to recreate the voices and speeches of major figures in their milieu.' Extremists are using AI voice cloning to supercharge propaganda. Experts say it's helping them grow W hile the artificial intelligence boom is upending sections of the music industry, voice generating bots are also becoming a boon to another unlikely corner of the internet: extremist movements that are using them to recreate the voices and speeches of major figures in their milieu, and experts say it is helping them grow. "The adoption of AI-enabled translation by terrorists and extremists marks a significant evolution in digital propaganda strategies," said Lucas Webber, a senior threat intelligence analyst at Tech Against Terrorism and a research fellow at the Soufan Center.

The potential for rapidly - evolving frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models - especially large language models (LLM s) - to facilitate bioterrorism or access to biological weapons has generated significant policy, academic, and public concern. Both model developers and policymakers seek to quantify and mitigate that risk, with an important element of such efforts being t he development of model benchmarks that can assess the biosecurity risk posed by a particular model. This paper describes the first component of a novel Biothreat Benchmark Generation (BBG) Framework . The BBG is designed to help model developers and evalua tors reliably measure and assess the biosecurity risk uplift and general harm potential of existing and future AI models, while accounting for key aspects of the threat itself that are often overlooked in other benchmarking efforts, including different act or capability levels, and operational (in addition to purely technical) risk factors. To accomplish this, the BBG is built upon a hierarchical structure of biothreat categories, elements and tasks, which then serves as the basis for the development of task - aligned queries. As a pilot, the BBG is first being developed to address bacterial biological threats only. This paper outlines the development of this biothreat task - query architecture, which we have named the Bacterial Biothreat Schema, while future papers will describe follow - on efforts to turn queries into model prompts, as well as metrics for determining the diagnosticity of these prompts for use as benchmarks and how the resulting benchmarks can be implemented for model evaluation. Ov erall, the BBG F ramework, including the Bacterial Biothreat Schema, seek to offer a robust, re - usable structure for evaluating bacterial biological risks arising from LLMs, a structure that allows for multiple levels of aggregation, captures the full scope of technical and operational requirements for biological adversari es, and accounts for a wide spectrum of biological adversary capabilities.

The 30-year-old Virginia resident evaded capture for years after authorities discovered pipe bombs planted near buildings in Washington, DC, the day before the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Prince William County police seal the street in front of the home of suspected January 6, 2021, pipe bomber on December 4, 2025, in Woodbridge, Virginia. Federal agents have arrested a suspect identified as Brian Cole. Federal agents on Thursday announced the arrest of a suspect charged with planting the two pipe bombs discovered near the US Capitol complex on the eve of January 6, 2021 . Authorities identified the man as Brian J. Cole Jr., a resident of Woodbridge, Virginia.
